They might not know how much money the Qiao family had, but Qiao Yuyings opening move was sufficient to shock them.
She bought a piece of land in the capital to build the Qiaos Jewelry headquarters. She was certainly going to move Qiaos Jewelrys headquarters to the capital in the future.
The Qiao family had stayed in the capital for some time, and now, they revealed who they were and began investing in their various interests.
The cousins had come back to study the market. They were extremely satisfied with the situation here. Needs were everywhere, and it would be easy to succeed. There was almost no compet.i.tion!
It was an era in which the streets were lined with gold. It was a marvelous opportunity, and the entire Qiao family swung into action.
They poured in money, which of course earned the respect of others. This was especially so because the Qiaos were such a distinguished family.
The Qin family also quickly entered the market.
They were also overseas tyc.o.o.ns and were now back in China to invest. They were as well-respected as the Qiao family.
The two families made huge investments, and the approval process was very swift. At the moment, the government was showing great respect for them.

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihans wedding was approaching. Qiao Yuying drove her daughter to buy the last of the wedding things.
The main items were all ready, and they only needed some odds and ends, so the two of them treated it as a shopping trip.
They were buying little things like sweets and red packets. Both of them were in a good mood recently, and the smiles on their faces were genuine.
Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing, who were following behind, could see this and they found it very irritating.
With Bai Youran to finance her, Gu Ruoqing had grown rich, and she naturally moved in different circles now. Thanks to their connection with Bai Youran, they also knew a little about what was happening among the upper cla.s.s.
Recently, the Qiao familys wealth was revealed. The people that Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing interacted with loved to gossip, so the two of them also knew that Gu Yunshen had recently married a wealthy lady!
Actually, she was a powerful woman in her own right.
Gu Ruoqing looked at their clothes. As she thought about the Qiao familys wealth, flames almost shot from her eyes.
Mother, didnt you say that Gu Qingyao would fall on hard times once Qiao Yuying married Gu Yunshen? Didnt you say that stepmothers are bad and would torment her? That doesnt seem to be true at all.
Zhang Xiaohui could not understand it either. Especially when she saw the two of them, who were not far off. They greatly resembled each other both in looks and mannerisms. This annoyed her even more.
Just wait! Shell certainly suffer. Qiao Yuying is so rich, how can she permit Gu Qingyao to have a good life?
Gu Ruoqing said, Mother, that might not be true. Gu Qingyao is even richer now. Her stepmother is so rich. She will certainly care more about the status of the Gu familys young lady. Shall we blackmail her? After all, her family is so rich.
Zhang Xiaohui was rather tempted.
Gu Ruoqing said, I dont know whats the matter with Bai Youran. She gave me three thousand yuan before she got married, but nothing else since. Its so infuriating. Shes so useless.
That Mo Yunhao is so rich, but she cant get a single cent from him.
Zhang Xiaohui did not say anything.
Gu Qingyao and Qiao Yuying finished their shopping and left. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing continued to follow them and watched them for a long time.

In the capital, the latest gossip about Bai Youran continued to circulate. No one knew who had started it, but it got worse and worse!
When Bai Youran got back to the Mo house, she even flattered Mo Yunhao a little. The Bai family did not make her feel sufficiently secure. She had heard the rumors too. When she went out, some people pointed at her and stared. Some of them seemed to be paying special attention to her face.
Bai Youran panicked. Her face
